    “What’s up with the wax by the slow cooker?”

    “Well, I’ve read about 10 papers on high performance cycling and have concluded, that hot waxing my chain may save about half a watt.”

    “When did you last ride it?”

    “Also a good question, indeed.”

      “What’s up with the wax by the slow cooker?”

      “Oh that’s for candlemaking, did you know that burning beeswax reduces allergens in the air by neutralizing the electric charge that makes them float?”

      I haven’t made candles in probably 5 years but I always loved that factoid about the beeswax.

      See, i had a flat, but the flat is on the rear, which means i have to take off the rear wheel, which is worse than the front. But it’s okay, the tire was worn down anyway, and i wanted to go tubeless anyway.

      So when are you gonna…

      Are we done asking stupid questions already?

        It’s why I never made it to ensure game content on any of the MMOs I played. I’d rather just reroll a new class.

          I don’t have trouble with mmo’s usually. But just last year i realised that i don’t know how to play these city building games.
          When i was 12 or so my mom bought me anno 1600 or what it was called. It was like meh, i was hoping for quake. I played that game for almost 3 days straight. I absolutely loved it and kept playing.
          Last year i asked my friend if he wanted to play the new anno with me. Never played coop, sounds fun. After 2 hours i realised for the first time that usually i just start over at this point. My cities are never sustainable and i just play until it all ges to shit, and starting over is easier than fixing your shit city.
          But with him now, i just had to keep going. It was a huge mess.

    This is me so much. I don’t have an official diagnosis and should probably go talk to my doctor but it’s just so much work but oh look a cool 16 episode documentary on professional poker and historical cheating in casinos on YouTube and spending multiple days and hours og researching what bicycle saddle is the best is just more satisfying for my brain. I’ve already got a referral to the psychiatrist bu that’s a year ago and is not valid anymore so yay me for not being able to take care of myself.

    As someone who created his own pfsense router on top of a proxmox VM and know zero about networking, I feel personally attacked.
